As New Yorkers struggle in the wake of Storm Sandy to find safety, shelter, food, and other basic needs, legal issues related to the storm are already emerging across the five boroughs and Long Island. In response, NYLAG is mobilizing a legal aid disaster relief program to help victims of the storm deal with a range of legal issues.
